[RE13] Household Perspectives on Achieving Electricity Self-Sufficiency with Photovoltaics Index
Responses

Key message
Good

Households willingness to use photovoltaic systems in single-family homes has increased. The index increased by 7 index points between 2019 and 2022, reaching a value of 36 on a scale from 0 to 100 in 2022. The share of households that already use or intend to use photovoltaics in the near future has increased the most during this period. Despite the positive change, as many as a quarter of households are still hesitant or reluctant to use photovoltaics. There are no differences in willingness to use photovoltaics between regions. It is recommended to simplify the procedures for installing photovoltaics, strengthen information support and continue with financial incentives for households.
